The Prescribed Fire Training Exchange (TREX) brings people together to learn how to conduct controlled and prescribed burns to prevent explosive wildfires.

Part of the group’s curriculum includes lessons on ecology more broadly as well as the cultural importance of prescribed burning in indigenous communities.
